10/10
A dark and modern Queer story.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie it's short. Straight to the point. Nothing it's unclear even tho nothing it's actually clear until the very end. It's super concise and has a resolution. Utterly mysterious and haunting. It's a painful ride that you will enjoy from the very bringing till the very end. Queer indie movies tend to be slow and painfully experimental sometimes or even boring. But this story it's bold, and it keeps you on edge. Themes such as trauma, bullying, gay culture and love are addressed in a very contemporary way. Christophe Charrier managed to have tense energy throughout the scenes that kept building on. He had a purpose for absolutely everything he showed on the screen. Clean, consistent cinematography as well, Beautiful job. The hookup scene with the catfish guy, Brilliant.
